expand ngit skill explainer: Nostr intro and grasp server auto-setup
Add one-liner on what Nostr is (decentralised signed-event protocol).
Note that grasp servers auto-create git repos when listed in ngit init
announcement events, requiring no prior setup unlike traditional servers.

When `ngit init` publishes a repository announcement listing a grasp server, the grasp server automatically creates the git repository — no prior setup or account configuration required.
